JPG to GIF Converter
JPG to GIF for chats and programs that need a GIF, with a choice of colors. Up to 256 colors, dithering and resizing. Files are not uploaded to a server.
GIF holds no more than 256 colors and only full transparency: the edges of semi-transparent areas become stepped. The fewer the colors, the lighter the file.
This page turns a JPG photo into a GIF. You need such a file where only GIF is accepted: in old programs, on forums and in some chats. The number of colors can be cut down to 2, and dithering keeps gradients from turning into harsh bands.
JPG is the most common photo format. It compresses with loss and supports neither transparency nor animation, but it opens in any program, on any device and on any site. Each new lossy save degrades the quality a little.
GIF holds no more than 256 colors and only full transparency, but it supports animation and plays almost everywhere. For photos it gives a heavy file with visible banding, so the number of colors and dithering are best chosen to suit the picture.
For GIF you set the number of colors from 2 to 256 and dithering: the fewer the colors, the lighter the file. The size in pixels can stay as it is or be changed by width, by height or in percent. Results download one by one or all at once as a ZIP, with random or original names.
Converting JPG to GIF happens in your browser: files are not uploaded to a server, so it is fast and safe. You can drag several files in, pick them in a file window or paste from the clipboard with Ctrl+V.
